Set
atop Mount Rataroa, just one hour’s drive south of Auckland
towards the Coromandel, sits Umoya Lodge.
This
remote and idyllic luxury lodge draws its name from the Zulu word
‘umoja’, meaning soul, spirit and breath. True to its
name, this is a place of absolute tranquility, breathtaking scenery
and luxurious escapism.
Surrounded
by 35 acres of native bush, the Lodge's spectacular elevated position
affords both stunning sea views to the Coromandel and Pacific Ocean
as well as across rustic New Zealand farmland as far as the eye
can see. As you wind your way up through the peaceful wood pigeon
dell on arrival, you feel blissfully transported... as though you've
discovered a well kept secret.
The
Lodge's architecture is spacious and sophisticated, with the LUXURY
SUITE separated from the main Lodge by way of a generous entry foyer
and lotus pond, and THE RETREAT in a completely separate unit adjacent
to the Main Lodge. Guests can relax in the main Lodge or enjoy the
peace and seclusion of their accommodation, where every attention
to detail has been made.
And
as exclusive guests at the Lodge at any one time, your service will
always be considerate and attentive.
